Assignment

Attached is HW 2 for Main Title Design. I decided to use Verlag as my chosen typeface, after going through and experimenting with many, because I felt the typeface had several similarities to playing cards. One characteristic that grabbed my attention was the versatility of the edges. The typeface transitions from rounded to pointed in a way how a playing card is designed both in terms of its design and construction. This was also represented in the way the overall point size housed the typeface. All in all, Verlag's many characteristics reminded me of a well balanced playing card. The same is true of the different weights and fonts of the typeface, as well.
